Fishery Resource and Coastal Management Based on Sato Umi aims to socialize

Sabang Sail Program, Indonesian Marine Tourism Development and disseminate Sato
Umi concept to support sustainable Aquaculture Development Program, fisheries and
marine resources in the coastal areas of Indonesia. The results of these seminars and
workshops are resumed in the following recommendations :

I. Workshop SATO UMI
Fisheries, coastal and marine resources are very potential resources, to improve the
economy of the community, especially the cultivators, fishermen and coastal
communities. On the other hand, the logical consequences of fisheries, coastal and
Page 3 of 7

marine resources as common and open access resources often experience excessive
over-exploitation over their over-exploitation. The existence of various threats and
pressures on the existence of fishery, coastal and ocean resources indicates that
management and utilization has not been balanced with the rate of recovery. As a
result, the existence of its resources is increasingly threatened and its carrying capacity
is declining in food supply. For that it is time for Indonesia to apply the concept of
management and utilization of natural resources by considering the balance and
stability of natural resources and the environment as in the concept of SATO UMI in the
whole Indonesian Coastal Areas. Implementation of SATO UMI concept of UMI is

expected to optimize the utilization of marginal and idle farm area and fishery and
marine resources in Coastal Region of Indonesia in order to improve people's prosperity
and local, regional and national economic income.
In the Medium Term Development Program (RPJMN) 2015-2019 and the Long Term
Development Program (RPJPN) 2015-2025, the target of the Marine Development
Program is directed to the realization of Indonesia as an independent, advanced, strong
and nation-based archipelagic country characterized by:
1. Establishment of facilities and infrastructure network as the glue of all islands of
Indonesia.
2. Increasing and strengthening of Human Resources in the field of marine
supported development of Science and Technology.
3. The establishment of the territory of the unitary state of NKRI, assets and related
matters within the framework of national defense.
4. The development of marine economy in an integrated manner by optimizing the
utilization of marine resources in a sustainable manner.
5. Reduced impacts of coastal disasters and marine pollution.
Techno Park-based Fishery Development with institutional strengthening in line with the
Sato Umi Concept is indispensable for the development of fisheries business from
upstream to downstream to improve the welfare of coastal communities, nations and
countries.

Management of ecosystem-based fisheries resources in Asia Pacific including
Indonesia should consider the ecological social conditions and their interactions
positively and beneficially in maintaining environmental stability and sustainability of
resource utilization as in the SATO UMI Concept
In line with the development of maritime in Indonesia, SATO UMI concept is a
sustainable coastal management based on maritime, tourism and food as well as
integrated upstream-downstream and sector integrated as to improve the welfare of
coastal communities and fishermen and conserve marine resources. Therefore SATO
Page 4 of 7

UMI has been developed and succeeded in Japan can be applied in Indonesia in
encouraging the national development of the maritime field.
BPPT has produced innovative technology to produce food and non food that is ready
to be applied in the development of SATO UMI in Indonesia.
In realizing prosperity, sustainability and sovereignty, as well as food security, Ministry of
Marine Affairs and fisheries have developed sustainable aquaculture in freshwater,
brackish water and sea water. To increase the utilization of marine resources, the
Ministry of Marine Affairs is developing Offshore aquaculture of Floating Cages and
Marine and Fisheries Integrated (SKPT) Zones in several Locations. One of its SKPT is
in Sabang, so the development of SKPT can be synergized with the development of

SATO UMI in Sabang, Aceh Province.
II. Sabang Marine Tourism Development
Indonesia has great marine tourism potential. But the contribution of marine tourism is
only about 10 percent of total foreign exchange earnings in the tourism sector
amounting to US $ 12.6 billion or around Rp 167 trillion in 2016. In 2017, the Ministry of
Tourism projected revenue from maritime tourism of US $ 4 billion or approximately Rp
53 trillion. Malaysia's long coastal state is smaller than Indonesia able to reap up to 40
percent of its tourism revenues from marine tourism with a contribution of up to US $ 8
billion or 8 times Indonesia. For that it needs to do a variety of efforts to accelerate the
marine tourism sector as a leading sector in raked in foreign exchange. One of them is
the implementation of Sabang Sail which proclaimed by government to increase famor
of marine tourism in Sabang and all marine tourism area in Indonesia. Sail is a
momentum to raise the power and the entire potential of Indonesia's maritime tourism
event in the event of national and international marine tourism promotion. Sail Sabang
2017 will be held on 28 November - 5 December 2017. As one of the world's maritime
tourism destination, Sabang has the potential for the development of maritime tourism,
but it also has challenges. Sail Sabang became the momentum of the revival of
economic development of Free Port and Free Trade Area Sabang through the
arrangement and development of Sabang area as the destination of sea tourism port of
the world. In addition, it is one of the government's solutions to develop Aceh's

economy, especially Sabang post-oil and gas autonomy in 2025 considering its strategic
location and the gateway of western Indonesia, in particular the Gate Way in the
Malacca Strait. In addition Weh Island is also located at the meeting of three very
specific marine areas of the Indian Ocean - the Andaman sea and the Strait of Malacca
which has a promising source of maritime potential in the future for the country,
especially if the Thai Government plan to open the canal soon materialized.

In order to develop the maritime tourism of Sabang, the presence of science and
technology development center as one of supporting instrument is very important. LIPI
as one of the national research institute saw that Weh Island located in Sabang is one
of the outermost small islands with the position at the far end of West Indonesia Region
(KBI) which directly borders Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Position P.
Weh is very strategic because it is in the vicinity of the waters of the Strait of Malacca,
Andaman Sea, Bay of Bengal and East Indian Ocean where the utilization of fishery
resources is still not optimal. Through Sail Sabang, LIPI will undertake the Development
of Oceanographic Research Station as an Effort to Utilize Marine Resources and
Support Marine Tourism. The development of this oceanographic research station has
been started since mid-2017 by utilizing land grants from Local Government of Aceh

and BPKS of 4.9 ha.
In addition, the utilization of science and technology is also very important in developing
sustainable marine tourism, especially from the characteristics of the destination, the
characterization of tourists, the type of tourism development and management of
destinations. Coral reef park development plans, artificial reefs, remote sensing
technology applications have been done for the development of marine tourism in terms
of destination characterization and development. Approach of science and technology
and public education was done to keep the hygiene of tourist destinations from plastic
waste sea. To answer the availability of energy in marine tourism locations that are
sometimes located in separate locations, the development of alternative renewable
energy, as well as hybrid.
In the development of the island of Sabang as a marine tourism destination, some of the
challenges that need to be noticed by the government of Aceh in particular and the
national government generally is to make the tourism industry a positive plus to support
the economy of Aceh. In addition, the need to cultivate Aceh as the main gateway of the
western region becomes the starting point of the entry of tourists to Indonesia.
Regulations, services and creative industries that support Aceh's marine tourism sector
are a challenge and need to be included as Aceh's strategic development plan in the
future.
Another challenge in Sabang tourism development is the Threat of Earthquake and

Tsunami. Nevertheless, the challenge is almost owned by the entire territory of
Indonesia due to the world's earthquake paths stretching from the island of Sumatra,
Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, Sulawesi, to Papua. As an area located on the path
of the earthquake, the physiographic conditions of the Indonesian territory are highly
anticipated by the collision activity of the three major plates of the world, namely the
Indo-Australian Plate, Eurasia, and the Pacific. This condition makes the territory of
Indonesia as one of the areas with high seismic activity level in Indonesia. Strong
earthquakes centered on the ocean with shallow depths can trigger a tsunami. Along

with the progress of tourism development, now many developing maritime tourism in
various places in Indonesia including in Sabang. In anticipation of the dangers of
earthquake and tsunami, BMKG since 2008 has operated a system of monitoring,
processing, and disseminating earthquake information and tsunami early warning. This
system is known as Indonesia Tsunami Early Warning System (InaTEWS). BMKG is
committed to providing earthquake information and tsunami early warning less than 5
minutes after the earthquake. This system provides information services for all regions
of Indonesia through multi mode of dissemination, such as: SMS, Digital Video
Broadcasting (DVB) / Warning Receiving System (WRS), facsimile, e-mail, website,
television, radio, whatsap (WA) and media other social. To secure and support maritime

tourism, BMKG is committed to supporting it through the earthquake and tsunami early
warning system in the areas of marine tourism development in Indonesia, including in
Sabang.
